A woman, believed to be 54 years old, suffered third-degree burns after she was engulfed in flames while out on the grass area opposite the Twin Towers apartment block in Sea Point at around 6pm on Friday.
‘A person on the scene reported that it appeared as if the person had been covered by an accelerant of some sort,’ said Facebook group admin Peter Flentov.
In the comments section, Facebook user Angela Brown who was driving past the area at the time of the incident and stopped to help reported that the woman was engulfed in flames, screaming and rolling on the ground, adding that ‘the flames were huge’ and that it was a ‘most horrific sight.’ ‘As most people wear synthetic jackets and sportswear on the prom, we could not use that. Luckily, there was a big heap of sand and we used that along with her rolling and some people had water to get most of the flames dead on her. Someone came out of nowhere with an extinguisher and put the last flames out,’ said Kotzé
